Hi,

Nice to hear from an audio guy. I write and record as a hobby with all my free time (year, right).

Two things:

(1) The group of symptoms that you have can all be related to mercury.

(2) Your symptoms flared up after the removal.

It seems likely that mercury is the issue.

It sounds like you could have been exposed to a lot of mercury during the removal. This is very common as I hear from people almost weekly who have fillings removed without proper protection and they get very sick.

At this point, I believe in taking it slowly and carefully. The last thing you want to do is "stir up" more mercury.

If I were you, I'd take the following steps:

(1) Begin taking Algin . This is your most important mercury detox supplement.

(2) Take about 5000 mg of vitamin c daily for mercury-induced oxidative protection.

(3) Remove the following from your diet: NutraSweet, Fluoridated water, processed sugar, seafood, high-sulphur foods.

(4) Add the following to your diet: Raw vegetables.

I would then see how you're feeling in about 30 days and make some decisions at that point, although I realize that time may be an issue.

There are also issues with putting in aluminum fillings (porcelain or ceramics) because they can cause dangerous side effects when mixed with mercury in the body. So, I would check with the dentist and find out what exactly (brand name and manufacturer) that he put in. This way, you know what you're working with.

I also hope the previous filling was removed completely and having dental x-rays may help another dentist determine this.

Considering you have a good filling in now (something like DiamondLite from Diamond corp.) and the previous filling is completely removed, the next step is detox.

Slow and gentle detox is best in my opinion as it allows you to live in the mean time and it helps prevent redistribution of the mercury, which can happen if you try to detox too fast.

If I were you, after I established that the previous filling was removed and the current filling is OK, I would started with a whey protein drink daily. As you feel better, you can add in a green drink that contains chlorella. I would also be taking vitamin e during the entire detox period. Here is what I use:

If you want, you can be agressive about detox and try chelation, but this could make you sicker because it's very agressive and can mobilize a lot of mercury. For this reason, you should always be taking algin during this time.

I hope this helps. Let us know what you decide to do.
